Lyman Gilmore's biography of Joel Oppenheimer, Don't Touch the Poet, says Robert Bertholf, "made me realize again how much I loved Joel, and how much fun I had being around him." REMEMBERING JOEL OPPENHEIMER is in turn the record of a deep personal friendship as well as a study of the work of one of the major Black Mountain poets. Robert J Bertholf edited Oppenheimer's Collected Later Poems. He is also the editor of, among others, Selected Poems of Robert Duncan, From This Condensery (selected poems of Lorine Neidecker), A Great Admiration H.D./Robert Duncan Correspondence 1950-1961, and (with David Landrey), a volume of works by Oppenheimer, Drawing from Life.. Formerly curator for the Poetry/Rare Books Collection at the State University of New York at Buffalo, Bertholf is currently the Charles D Abbott Scholar-In-Residence at that university.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book of later poems includes eleven out-of print books written between 1975 and 1994, as well as 49 unpublished poems. "In his later poetry. Joel Oppenheimer moved at once back in time and out in space. His New Spaces are thus our origins". David Landrey "Oppenheimer nurtured the discursive voice in his poems toward a paced deliberation of how he saw people, issues, and actions. His poetry does not rush to action. It moves along slowly, sorting out ways of approaching the center of feelings". Robert Bertholf. The Collected Later Poems contains poems collected in books written between 1975 and 1988. The volume begins with an useful introduction by Robert Bertholf; it contains poems from eleven out-of-print editions, beginning with "The Woman Poems"(1975), and ending with "New Hampshire Journal" (1994). It also contains 49 additional poems written but not published before Oppenheimer's untimely death. Oppenheimer was a master of the "occasional poem", and had a discursive style which encompasses his personal perceptions of life in and about the places where he lived. All readers of modern American poetry who are concerned about the legacy of William Carlos Williams will also recognize the importance of Joel Oppenheimer to the Black Mountain School of Poetry, and the New York School. The book is elegantly designed and includes drawings by John Dobbs, long-time friend of the poet.

Download or read book The Arts of Memory and the Poetics of Remembering written by Abbes Maazaoui and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-17 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arts of Memory and the Poetics of Remembering This collection of essays explores the dynamics of representation, transmission and circulation of memory, as well as the role of personal and collective memory in shaping meanings, values, attitudes and identities. Bringing together a group of international scholars from different disciplines, the book examines various literary, artistic, psychological, social, historical and political narratives, ranging from British women’s elegies of the First World War to the Brooklyn Dodgers to the constructed narratives of Lincoln University’s founding ideals to photographs of the Holocaust and Nazi Camp testimonies. Among the key features of the book’s approach is its focus on memory, not as a static entity, but as a set of malleable patterns and strategies that highlight both the unity of the concept of memory and the diversity of its human expressions and artistic forms.
Download or read book Charting Memory written by Stacy N. Beckwith and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-05-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charting Memory: Recalling Medieval Spain elaborates an interdiscursive picture of how Medieval Spain has been remembered by various Arab, Jewish, and Hispanic peoples from well before 1492 to the present. The collection breaks with traditional foci on the legacies of separate Iberian communities and their descendants, and on limited, largely textual sets of their related cultural practices. In distinct ways, this collection takes a multi-ethnic and multi-modal approach, departing from sociologist Maurice Halbwachs' premise that collective memories form not within individuals alone, but through the inner and inter-workings of actual and conceptual social milieux. The volume hereby foregrounds the constitutive roles of communities created through prayer, literary resonances, architecture, musical performance, and name giving, in shaping memories of medieval Spanish contexts as well as complex identities in the Balkans, the Near and Middle East, North Africa, Latin American, and the United States. The ten original essays in this collection, by international specialists in anthropology, ethnomusicology, literary criticism, folklore, and onomastics, are not arranged according to Arab, Jewish, and Hispanic cultural memories of medieval Spain. Instead, the collection's unique comparative emphasis illuminates ways in which various peoples have re-articulated memories relating to medieval Spain in and across physical, temporal, and social locations, with different types and degrees of impact.

Download or read book Remembering the Cold War written by David Lowe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Remembering the Cold War examines how, more than two decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cold War legacies continue to play crucial roles in defining national identities and shaping international relations around the globe. Given the Cold War’s blurred definition – it has neither a widely accepted commencement date nor unanimous conclusion - what is to be remembered? This book illustrates that there is, in fact, a huge body of ‘remembrance,’ and that it is more pertinent to ask: what should be included and what can be overlooked? Over five sections, this richly illustrated volume considers case studies of Cold War remembering from different parts of the world, and engages with growing theorisation in the field of memory studies, specifically in relation to war. David Lowe and Tony Joel afford careful consideration to agencies that identify with being ‘victims’ of the Cold War. In addition, the concept of arenas of articulation, which envelops the myriad spaces in which the remembering, commemorating, memorialising, and even revising of Cold War history takes place, is given prominence.
Download or read book All Poets Welcome written by Daniel Kane and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2003-03-26 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This landmark book, together with its accompanying CD, captures the heady excitement of the vibrant, irreverent poetry scene of New York's Lower East Side in the 1960s. Drawing from personal interviews with many of the participants, from unpublished letters, and from rare sound recordings, Daniel Kane brings together for the first time the people, political events, and poetic roots that coalesced into a highly influential community. From the poetry-reading venues of the early sixties, such as those at the Les Deux Mégots and Le Metro coffeehouses to The Poetry Project at St. Mark's Church, a vital forum for poets to this day, Kane traces the history of this literary renaissance, showing how it was born from a culture of publicly performed poetry. The Lower East Side in the sixties proved foundational in American verse culture, a defining era for the artistic and political avant-garde. The voices and works of John Ashbery, Amiri Baraka, Charles Bernstein, Bill Berkson, Ted Berrigan, Kenneth Koch, Bernadette Mayer, Ron Padgett, Denise Levertov, Paul Blackburn, Frank O'Hara, and many others enliven these pages, and the thirty five-track CD includes recordings of several of the poets reading from their work in the sixties and seventies. The Lower East Side's cafes, coffeehouses, and salons brought together poets of various aesthetic sensibilities, including writers associated with the so-called New York School, Beats, Black Mountain, Deep Image, San Francisco Renaissance, Umbra, and others. Kane shows that the significance for literary history of this loosely defined community of poets and artists lies in part in its reclaiming an orally centered poetic tradition, adapted specifically to open up the possibilities for an aesthetically daring, playful poetics and a politics of joy and resistance.

Download or read book First of the Year 2010 written by Benj DeMott and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third volume of the First of the Year annual series. Contributors such as Armond White, Philip Levine, Charles O'Brien, Uri Avnery, Donna Gaines, Tom Smucker, Scott Spencer, and Amiri Baraka are back (and fractious as ever). And First's family of writers keeps growing. This volume includes vital new voices such as A. B. Spellman, Bernard Avishai, Rudolph Wurlitzer, and Diane di Prima.First never shies away from hot button issues Fredric Smoler, for example, offers a definitive consideration of America's recent history with torture. But First's approach to current political firestorms is often marked by a cool sense of the past. History is always in the mix when First writers examine the roots of Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and contemporary right-wing pundits who falsely claim the mantle of Whittaker Chambers. First's refusal to toe "correct" lines is apparent in Benj DeMott's reconsideration of Chambers' work.The new volume is also marked by its cultivation of radical imaginations. The ideas of the Situationists and Cornelius Castoriadis are revived. A young historian, David Waldstreicher, recovers the radical, useable past in the 60s work of Staughton Lynd. Amiri Baraka evokes the felt quality of Jesse Jackson's 1988 campaign and another poet remembers (in verse) long-forgotten, extreme political acts of American Renaissance poets.A recent review of First of the Year: 2009 used a phrase of Kenneth Burke's "perspective by incongruity" to make sense of the method that shaped it. First is committed to thought-provoking incongruities. Faith that wonder is our best teacher informs this volume. First's music writing provides a high-low soundtrack of surprise. Beyond the section on Michael Jackson, there are serious responses to John Coltrane and Bach, World Saxophone Quartet and Mariah Carey, Sonny Rollins and Willie Mitchell. First's message is in
